The Y has already raised more than $11 million toward that goal and is now asking the community to support the $1,000,000 public campaign goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting to think about the new Healthy Living Campus and how it will impact the strength and future of our community. We just can\u2019t wait to see our friends and neighbors enjoying a brand new 21st century facility, with all its natural light, spaces for socialization and just a ton of positive energy. I can\u2019t think of a better way to invest in the future of Batavia,\u201d said Paul Battaglia, YMCA Campaign Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Zeliff has provided a community challenge to support the new YMCA. Until September 2021, this amazing supporter will match dollar for dollar all new gifts up to $500,000. \u201cI believe strongly in this project and am happy to double the impact of new gifts, knowing the tremendous benefit we will all receive from this new YMCA and Healthy Living Campus. I encourage the community to join me in supporting this exciting project,\u201d Peter Zeliff, YMCA Campaign Cabinet Member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are very much looking forward to this next phase of our fundraising efforts\u201d, said John Riter, YMCA Project Chair, \u201cTo maximize the impact that this project will have on Genesee County, we definitely need the community\u2019s support. We are looking to everyone for help, individuals, families and local businesses, anyone who wants to play a part in making this a huge success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The groundbreaking is expected to begin this fall. The Y is projecting that the building should be complete in 2023. Timing of the project will ultimately be determined by completion of the capital campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plans for the new Y facility include a new state-of-the-art wellness center, indoor pool, group exercise studios, and gymnasium with indoor walking\/running track, teaching kitchen, indoor playground, youth spaces, living room and meeting rooms. Our partnership with United Memorial Medical Center will provide primary care, behavioral health\/crisis interventions services, telemedicine integration, cancer prevention outreach services, chronic illness support services and education services all in the same facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Healthy Living Campus will serve as a one-stop-shop for comprehensive health and wellness support under one roof,\u201d said Dan Ireland, President of United Memorial Medical Center. \u201cIt is especially important, now more than ever, to expand access to care in the community and this partnership with the Y is an opportunity to provide convenience for children, families, and people of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-located services will open up new program opportunities in chronic disease management, rehabilitation, mental health, and community education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis new Y is for the children, adults, families and seniors in our community. It will be a place for people from all walks of life to come together to gather and improve their quality of life,\u201d said Rob Walker, YMCA CEO. \u201cToday we invite everyone to join us in this exciting campaign that will not only transform the lives of the people we serve, but the entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release Community Support is Needed to Complete Project Batavia, NY (April 27, 2021) \u2013 Today the GLOW YMCA announced the public phase of the Transforming Lives capital campaign that will allow the Y to build a Healthy Living Campus in Downtown Batavia, in partnership with Rochester Regional Health\u2019s United \u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2021\/04\/27\/batavia-ymca-announces-capital-campaign-to-build-new-facility-and-has-raised-over-11-million-for-the-project\/\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[8],"tags":[2573,2572,2571],"class_list":["post-24854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-batavia","tag-capital-campaign","tag-new-facility","tag-ymca"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8eTP4-6sS","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":34098,"url":"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2022\/07\/11\/genesee-county-glow-ymca-and-rochester-regional-healths-united-memorial-medical-center-break-ground-on-healthy-living-campus-in-batavia\/","url_meta":{"origin":24854,"position":0},"title":"GENESEE COUNTY\/GLOW YMCA and Rochester Regional Health\u2019s United Memorial Medical Center break ground on Healthy Living Campus in Batavia","author":"aka","date":"July 11, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uCWMWt-oso8 Video from groundbreaking-July 11, 2022 New campus will bring comprehensive medical care and wellness programs under one roof,invigorating Batavia businesses and transforming its downtown.
